AVW, (*.f;e:3 , .;•.Q1).) • i7177: 1) LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 12, 186, The CITA.Nc Et,r,on of the EXCHEQUER. announced last night that he Ivould bring forward the Budget on Friday the 29th inst., on which night the Stamp Du ties Bill would also be committed. It has been frequently a subject of just complaint that Irish affairs engross more than a proper ;bare of the time of the House of Commons. For this the Irish representatives arc principally, if not entirely, to blame. While English and Scottish measures are dis posed of almost as s')ou as mooted, they will only suffer Parliament to talk about the grievances of Ire land. Divil2d into hostile and perpetually jarring factions—oppesing each other with as much shameless violence in the assertion of plain and notorious facts, as in the maintenance of the abstrusest theolonical dog mas—seldom or never regarding a political principle as other than an engine for effectin , the triumph of a fac tion—never looking beyond the petty details of strictly local interests, they have appeared in Parliament as political gladiators—as fanatics—as rancorous assail ants of certain creeds and institutions—as the vindic tive vituperators of each other—in a word, as any thLig and everything but a chosen deliberative body of patriotic Irishmen. In Parliament they hitherto; for the most part, seemed to remember everything but then . country ; to feel. f o r e v er y a ffli ct i on ,b u t s lrch as fell to the lot of Irlsh;nen of a different creed. Tncnks to the excellent example of Mr. O'CONNELL, the l'ar itnicntary representatives of the Irish people arc b..! inning to grow ashamed of such derelictions of a sacred duty. On rare occasions we find the SHAW'S, t;IC LEFROYS, and the PERCI vALs constrained to feign, at least, a deep Sympathy for the sufferin.s,of the Irish poor even in Catholic • tracts. When such occasions become more frequent we shall have less reason to complain of the time wasted in long discussions about Ireland. Were the Irish Members to join heartily togetherdemand in g redress for the evils of their common country, the Le oislature would act instead of talk—the cause of ...Inch idle discussions would be at once removed. If th,l people of England do not concede that justice to j r ,Ond which is her due, the refusal of it is principally attrib o table to the dishonesty or ne g l ec t o f th e I r i s h Rep ,•es ri tatives in the Imperial Parli ament . Jat- • we. been led to make these obs erva ti ons in • consequence of the arrival of letters from corres pondents in Ireland, stating that the Tory party there, headed by several Members of Parliament, - aro pre paring a crusade against any me asure which the Whigs may bring forward for the relief of the Irish Poor. Their first effort - will of course . be directed against the reports of the Poor Law Commissioners ; their next to :brow the country into such a state of excitement and con fusion that the Government will throe up their scheme in despair. One might naturally suppose that the s tarvation of 2,385,000 individuals, for thirty weeks in every year, would afford a neutral space upon which the Orangeman and the Catholic might take their stand as Christians and as brethren in the performance of a common act of charity. Were an Englishman told that so large a proportion of his fellow-creatures and countrymen were at all times insufficiently proVided with the commonest necessaries of life—that their ha bitations were wretched hovels—that several members of a family were accustomed to sleep together upon straw, or the bare ground, sometimes without so much as a blanket to cover them—that they were so huddled to gether to keep alive the animal Ives:nth in each other — that their food for twenty-four hour:: often consisted of no more than one scanty meal of dry potatoes or sea-weed —and that their clothing scarcely sufficed to conceal their nakedness ; lie would not stop to inquire, before opening his coffers to relieve them, whether they belonged to the faction of his friends or his enemies—whether they gave spiritual precedence to the KING, the Presbytery, or the Pepe. And yet such is the actual condition of the Irish poor at this very moment. We have not put the case hypothetically : the miseries which we have supposed as sufficient to rouse the active sympathies of every man in England, are now preying upon the vitals of Ireland. Nay, we have used but the very language of the Poor Law Commissioners, in the first section of the Third Report, now presented by his MAJESTY to both Houses of Parliament. Although in an ar ticle which appeared in this Journal of the Gth inst., we quoted the identical passage in the Report to which we more particularly allude, we are confident that the public will thank us for re-inserting it here : " A great body of them (the able-bodied labourers) are insufficiently provided at any time with the commonest ne cessaries of life. Their habitations are wretched hovels, several of a family sleep together upon straw or upon the bare ground, sometimes with a blanket, sometimes even without so much to cover them ; their food commonly con sists o f dry potatoes, and with these they are at times so scantily suplied as to be obliged to stint themselves to one spare meal in day. There - are even instances of per sons beini , driven ! , v hunger to seek sustenance in wild herbs. They sometimes jet a herring, or a little milk, but they never get meat, excC:it at Christmas, Easter, or Shrovetide. " Some go in search of employment !.o Great Britain during the harvest, others wander through Ireland) with the same view. " The wives and children. of many are occasionally obliged to beg ; they doso reluctantly, and with shame, and in general go to a distance from home, that they may not be known. " Mendicancy, too, is the sole resource of the aged and impotent of the poorer classes in general, when children or relatives are unable to support them. To it, therefore, crowds are driven for the means of existence ; and the knowledge that such is the fact leads to an indiscriminate giving of alms, which encourages idleness, imposture, and general crime." Is not our previous statement borne out by the ap palling picture here exhibited by the Commissioners ? And yet this picture has nothing in it to awaken the dormant sympathies of the great bulk of the Irish landed aristocracy. They see nothing contrary to "the moral fitness of things" in the mendicancy of thou sands of their fellow-creatures, willing and able to sup port themselves by honest industry, were they only pro vided with employment. They regard themselves as superior to the drudgery of rendering the poor comfort able or happy as the irresponsible inheritors of the soil, not as the trustees deputed by society to regulate and improve its management. It. is time they were taught a different lesson. We know from experience that is useless to appeal to them as landlords, as the natural guardians of the poor, as, Christians, and as Irishmen, against the co.otinuaelce of a state of things which is fast reducing the kingdom to beggary. They want the sense to comprehend the extent to which, as land lords, they must suffer in consequence of the miserable state of the working classes. Of the natural guardian ship of the poor, and the relative duties imposed by their station in society, four-fifths of them are as ignorant as Hottentots. The Christainly duties of the Irish landed aristocrat—as they are generally understood and practised by the members of that class—are easily enumerated :—an annual subscription to the .Kildare street Society ; ditto to four or five Biblical Societies for opening the eyes of the spiritually blind of all nations ; from fifty to ten pounds a year in aid of the funds of some coterie of spinster theologians, engaged in the conversion of every hare-legged bog-trotter who is willing to exchange an old creed for a new pair of breeches ; and in seasons of general famine a sub 7 scription for a country soup shop. We know that there are a few'excellent Irish landlords, but the Com missioners found them so few in number, that they have likened their estates "to green spots in a de sert !" Hence the obvious necessity of resorting to compulsory measures, in order to oblige them to do jus tice to society, for whose benefit they are allowed to inherit their estates. We observe that two of our Contemporaries (the Courier and the Chronicle) are 'opposed to the prin ciple of making the mortgagees on Irish estates con tribute to the poor-rate. The following is the sub stance of a leading article which appears in the Chro nicle of this morning : " In our comments on the third Report of the I, ish Poor-law Commissioners, we observed that the measure recommended by them of making the mortgagees on Irish estates contribute to the burden of the poor-rate was somewhat bold. The Courier attacks the principle of the measure, and adds that it will be inoperative. " The Connoissioncrs (says our Con tcn-roorary) will not be able to perpetrate the meditated in justice. They should have kept in mind the sound principle with which Mrs. Glass commences her recipe for manufactur ing hare soup ; 'first, says filo sagacious matron—first catch your hare ;' so say we to the Archbishop of Dublin—first catch the mortgagees, and then thrust }our hands into their pockets l" " The principle of the Commhsioners is no doubt liable to ohjection. ' The security of the investment of the incum branee,' they say, 'is bound up with the productiveness of the laud, and the well-being of its inhabitants.' fhe incum brancer gains nothing by the improved condition of an estate, and it is hardly fair that he should contribute towards its amcliort.tion. the rate of interest agreed on is not arbitrary, but determined by the nature of the security and the state of the Money Market, and it may therefore be doubted whether the Legislature should interfere with the contracting parties." Witticisms should g o for very little when applied to time elucidation of such measures as a Poor Law for Ireland. 'We shall therefore simply observe, in answer to the Courier and the Chronicle, that the Commis sioners have not been umnindful of Mrs. Glass's principle ; for they have collared the mortgagees, and hold them as firmly as if they were screwed in a vice. The Nvay in which they have done this, is the best that could possibly be imagined. By levying the rate on the property of the mortgager, amid giving him the power of deduction from the ti:nount of the legal incumhrancc upon it, they have secured the mortgagee. But the Chronicle adds, that as " the ineumbrancer gains nothing by the improved condition of an estate, it is hardly fair that he should contribute towa:ds its amelioration." Our Contempo rary must know little of Ireland to snake use of such language as this. The incumbrances on most Irish estates swallow up nearly the whole of the rental. The mortgagees are, in nine cases out of ten, the bona fide proprietors. Several of the encumbered estates, from the increasing poverty of the people, are not even able to pay off the encumbrances upon them. Is it then no advantage to the mortgagees to so improve this property as to secure to them fair return for their capital ? Do they gain nothing by a change of system, which renders what th e y acce pt e d as a doubtful security, and only paid for accordingly, a safe and a profitably transferable investment ? Every one at all acquainted with the b n o re f o m f o t r i t i g e m.g iia c r s d u t i: r o m n Irish sexa lcteadm from do rom pr th pe et t . , ro in w i c is r t . To suffer, therefore, the incumbrancers to b cro free, would be to strip the Irish la n dl or d s of their estates altogether. We cannot just now enter fully into the detail's of the measures proposed by the Commissioners for the re lief of the poor of Ireland ; but as the substance of the Third Report will be embodied in the Bill which the Government is about to submit to Parliament, we shall ' • 1-71 tl"1 IC) "4 fur •12 ic36 S N',U ./ON DU have repeated opportunities of returning to the sul.- . ject. Of the Report itself, cur favourable opinion is already known to the readers of The .Sun„.. We con sider it as complete as any scheme for the a melioration of the Irish people .can possibly be. We do not mean to say that there are no oinissions in the sum total of its recommendatory suggestions—that some of its leading provisions are not . open to much cavil on the score of liability to abuse—that the remedial policy and the principles upon which that policy. is based, are never suffered to come either in immediate or pros pective collision ; but we are prepared to maintain that it would have been impolitic to have .supplied :such omissions—that to have sought to make the provisions of the proposed change of system less liable to the possibility of abuse, would have rendered the prospec t. nye improvement of Ireland a mare delusion—and that, in the words of the Report, " legislation"—(whenever its main object is the removal of an immediate pres sing, and, from its nature, temporary evil) —" - should he.ve reference to _circumstances, as well as to princi ples." Indeed, where the evil to be remedied is such as afflicts Ireland—hunger and nakedness—the first impulse of every generous mind must be to concede relief on any terms But that the Commissioners have not been wanting in a proper regard to principles, must be evident to every person who will take the trouble to examine the immediate and suitable remedies provided against abuses of power under the new system. With out powers liable to be abused, the Directors of Ire- I land's regeneration could effect nothing for her people. All therefore that honest. men can in fairness ask is, will the law provide a speedy, and an otherwise efficient' remedy for the correction of all perversions of such powers ? Most decidedly it will, if Parliament adopt the sug7..stions of the Commissioners. lqow is the time for the people of Ireland to bestir themselves. Let them come boldly and manfully for ward, and we will engage them a victory over their aristocratical oppressors. They are starving : they want remunerative labour : this is the season for urging their claims for a wholesale redress of agrarian griev ances. They may depend upon all the assistance that we can render them in this struggle. Once let the recommendations of the Commissioners be adopted by the Legislature, and there will be an end of the serfage which now disgraces the soil of Ireland. In the mean time, we shall keep a watchful eye upon the enemies of the Irish poor—belong to what party soever they may. We care not what may be the cause of their hostility to that deeply injured and cruelly oppressed body. 'Whether, in the excessive tenderness of their consciences, they object to the social improvement of an idolatrous community—or, which is quite as pro bable, in the. universal diffusion of their philanthropy, they cannot concentrate the beams of their benevolence upon such a speck as Ireland—we shall be careful to mark them as fit objects for the obloquy of posterity. Our readers will see in another part of our Paper a curious - and edifying Report of an action for libel, brought by Mr. PETER- BORTHWICK, M.P. for Eve sham against the proprietors of the Bath Guardian. From this Report it appears that the Honourable Member is a perfect Proteus in intellect. There seems, indeed, no end to his abilities. He is not one, but Legion. He is as much at home, for instance, behind the counter at Dalkeith, as in the halls of Downing at Cambridge ; can write dramas and trea tises on the Advent ; and clear the Surrey Theatre by his performance of tragedy, with as much expedition as he clears the House of Commons by his per formance of farce. It must be a great com fort to the Conservatives, to have a partizan so variously and richly gifted, as this myriad minded Member. Talk of Lord BROUGHAM I Why, his Lordship is no more to be compared to PETER, than the suet-dumpling on the top of Buck inaham Palace, to the cupola of St. Paul's. Can his Lordship play Othello like PETER? Can he write theo logical discourses on the Advent like PETER ? Can he write plays calculated to make one laugh, or speak farces calculated to make one sleep, like PETER ? Not a bit of it. 'His Lordship is simply a man of extraor dinary endowments, whereas PETER is a man of mi riii,dirciint,:.:oipulseltones, like his apostolic namesake before oi Ls nil im a p:s : s : i ! b: a e ri to adopt tivi Horatian towards such a " .for Evesham. vernal genius" as th ,, We cannot but admire him, even hi si ;:te of ourselves, for he is the " Admirable Crichton " century, and will flourish in the ev e s of Iwonlinc7'tll 11 2. posterity long after his base and " - diabolical " detrac tors shall have been mingled with kindred clay. We say nothing of his temporary rustication in a Cam bridge jail, for genius is proverbially eccentric, and_ who knows but PETER was qualifying for a Conserva tive in that classic and truly statesmanlike domicile ? It will be seen by our Parliamentary Report that the consideration of the Tithe Commutation Bill, which was to have been resumed in Committee last night, has been postponed. To-morrow Lord JOHN RUSSELL will state the alterations which Ministers propose to make in the measure. The Bill will then he reprinted with the new clauses and amendinentF, and on thy.: 22d inst., the House will go into the dis cussion de novo. What the proposed alterations may be we can, of course, only conjecture. The two main ob jections to the Bill, put forward by the landowners, are the great amount of the rent-charge, and the inequality of its distribution. On the first of these points we cannot believe that the Government will make any alteration, but shall place the tithe-owner in a worse position than he occupies at present. It is surely enough if he surrender to the landowner all his share of the future increase in the produce of the soil, together with a bonus of from 25 to 40 per cent. of his present revenue. Beyond this we think the tithe owner cannot in conscience be called upon to concede. Indeed the whole concession—the whole sacrifice is on his part. The landowner really gives up nothing— he is undeniably a gainer, and a great gainer too, by the plan, as we have already endeavoured to shew. The proposition of the landowner, therefore, that the tithe-owners claims shall be still farther cut down, is a'tog:;ther With respect to the second objection, that great in justice will be done by the manner in which it is pro posed to applot the rent charge, we can only say that if any mode can be discovered more agreeable to tire landowners, it ought to be adopted. Mr. BLAMIRE has suggested that in the northern part of England at least, it would be far more satisfactory to the proprie tors of land to be allowed to assess themselves pro gressively, than to have their r..mt.charges apportioned by the Commissioners once for • all 'according to the accidental state of land at the present moment. His view, we believe, is that the Commissioners shall estimate the value of the Tithe payable from a district or parish, and that the landowners shal ceor t d h i e ng ap t i o ilo i t t n s i e among land themselves productive ofthe l a t i l v i e e rent-charge te n settle on value ; this applotment to be varied as changes take pl ace , by the conversion of grass land to tillage, and vice versa, or as crops more or less valuable are raised. This plan, it will be observed, is perfectly unob kctionable as far as the tithe-owner is concerned. As long as his amount' of revenue is secured (and in this way it would be equally secure), it cannot matter to hi m in what proportions the landowners choose it should be 'distributed over their lands. Neith er can td d i e n g prop ose d in the pr a cti ca l there be any doubt that a much n earer approximation i t iol the anti Bill.l s way,e A q uit 7 ie tit c il l el i a s distribution u tc) t yu i ,i o t i l i et li icialaty mode a ccomp li s h e d o n ;) to execution of Mr. BLAMIRE 0 plan, w e think it would be hardly fair to say anything. The trouble and ex pense fall upon the landowners. If they do not object, who else shad? In the Paris Papers of Sunday we find the re port of a debate in the Chamber of Deputies on Saturd for the removal of the remain 3 of the Emperor NA POLEON from St. Helena to France, and the abolition of the law of 1816 for the perpetual expatriation of the BONAPARTE family. The debate arose on the pre sentation of petitions by several Members of the Chamber, who have repeatedly exerted themselves in defence of the memory of NAPOLEON, an d t h e r i g h ts of his family. The petitions for the recal of the living Bonapartists were rejected on the motion of M. -Tfluns ; those for removing the remains of N4PO LmoN to linister, Franco ti , ete referred to the Council of The accounts from the North of Spain are unimportant. General CORDOVA has addressed a new set of regu lations to the inhabitants of Navarre and the Basque Provinces, the principal of which exonerates them , from supplying the army with the usual rations. This charge will in future be borne by the Treasury. The following is the substance of this document : The war draws near to its close ; fatigued with the disasters winch this species of warfare rendered necessary— although for that reason not less to be deplored—it now commences to as sume a character of reconciliation ; for peace and reconcilia tion are the objects for which we . fight, and are the most ardent desires of an innocent Queen and an enlightened Government. But it is necessary that the honest and peaceful inhabitants do riot lose by a guilty obstinacy the fruits of intentions as useful as benevolent. That these happy results be instantly carried _ _ into execution, I have ordered as follow : Art. 1. In those villages in which the' troops penetrate un der any circumstances whatsoever, there cannot bo imprisoned or disturbed any person for his opinions, unless such persons have had criminal processes commenced against them, or earry arms against the legitimate government of her Majesty Isabella 11. 2. The military chiefs shall give their protection to those authorities and inhabitants who remain peaceably in their houses, paying them instantly, or within the term of fifteen dabs, if it should not ho possible sooner, in the capitals of the provinces, and by the treasurer of the deputation, the value of all such matter as shall have been furnished to the army. The tariff of process to be fixed by the deputations in each province. 3. As an acknowledgment for these benevolent measures, I desire frcm the Inhabitants that they remain peaceably in their houses, and that they do not abandon them under any pretext whatsoever at the approach of our troops, for nosy they have no reason so to act. In default, they will be considered as hostile and criminal. Therefore, all such who, notwithstand ing this order, and the,assurance of protection which I offer them, render themselves guilty of this crime, shall have ac corded them as a just punishment the loss of all the property which shall be found in their houses, and which can be of use ,to the army. It will not avail them to leave behind them their wives and their children. It is also notified to all such, that their cattle arid their grain shall be taken from them. They shall not be paid for them, nor shall a receipt be given to them, should they hereafter demand it, thus establishing an equit able difference between those who wait with confidence the arrival of the troops, from whom they have nothing to fear for their political opinions, and those who, guided by a bad spirit, fly into the mountains, and provoke the irritation of the troops, who, in protecting the villages, only seek and pursue its armed enemies. PARIS, APRIL 9.—No news was mentioned on 'Change to day, as having been brought by the letters from Madrid or Catalonia ; but the subject of every conversation was the re capture of Plencia, a small maritime town in Biscay, by the squadron under the command of Lord Hay. We must, how ever, tell our readers, that some circumstances accompanying this intelligence make us consider it as very doubtful. General Cordova has just addressed a proclamation to the insurgents, which is distinguished by sentiments of humanity and conciliation, very different from the character of the war in Navarre hitherto. _ _ _ Cordova declares that Carlist opinions shall not be imputed to individuals as crimes ; that the troops under his command shall observe the strictest. discipline, in all the towns and vil lages of which they shall make themselves masters ; and lastly, that none will be treated with rigour, except such as are taken with arms in their hands. Letters from the banks of the Bidassoa say that the Carlists are increasing the number of their troops before St. Sebas tian ; they have also brought forward some heavy artillery, which seems to indicate an intention of pushing with more vigour the siege of that place. Cordova is still shut up in Vittoria. There is reason to be astonished that he does not attempt any thing to disturb the operations of the insurgents, who traverse the country unmo lested in all direction, and threaten several important points. Don Carlos remains at El Orio with his little Court. It has lately been affirmed that a person of importance was expected there.—Messager, April 10. The Canton Register, which we have received to the 12th of December inclusive, is filled with ac counts of the insolence of the Chinese Government towards British merchants. On the 4th of that month a vessel, called the Fairy Queen, arrived at Lintin. The second Lieutenant was dispatched in a boat to Canton with letters ; but before his arrival he was seized by order of the Mandarins, cast into a dungeon, and word sent to the Captain that he would not be released, nor the letters given up, till the Bar barians. would pay a sum of 500 dollars. The resi dent foreigners immediately presented themselves 'at the city gate, bearing a petition for the release of the Lieutenant ; but they were threatened with the terrors of his Celestial MAJESTY'S wrath, and or dered to humble themselves in silent astonishment at his clemency towards them. The poor fellow con- . tinned in prison up to the departure of the latest de spatches for England. The tea-trade was, however, brisker than usual. THE FETINTDS.-(THIS DAY). CITY, T WELVE O'CLOCK. . I ,f , the news received from Paris this morning, it is stated that the assembling of a Congress at Vienna is still on the tapae,yvhi2h will have for its object the affairs of the East, and those of /41-/PtiP. M. Metternich has given his consent to it, and M, Tallqrand is a great advocate for its taking place. Our arrivals this morning are the French and Hamburg mails. No ship letters received. The (Mears of the Foreign Legion in Spain, knowing the importance of a corps of cavalry being attached to their divi si'm, are actively employed in the formation thereof, - and have subscribed their arrears of pay, amounting to 52,0001. for that purpose. On the 81st ult, 1,600 men to complete the above corps, arrived at Pampeluna. from Catalonia, The French papers, after giving General Bernelie's order of the day of the foreign legion, not to give any quarter to the Carlists, states as follows : "The cause of this horrid retaliation—the atrocities which have been committed by the Carlists is without example. The fate of Licutenent Doumoustier, son of that brave General taken in Catalonia withS 30 men by the Carlist division of Guergue—these unfortunate men were promenaded, bare.. footed, with a halter round their necks, through several vil lages for eight days - . This horrid brutality was ended by de priving them of their lives in the graates torments i two of them only made their escape. In the affair of Lectarosintre, 6th March, 1835, eight voltigeurs of that legion were massa cred in the same manner; five others on the 24th of last month, in the affair of Zubiri, wore burnt alive." Owing to there being so few arrivals this morning - , we are deprived of intell;gence, which causes a great dulness in the city, as well as in speculations in the Funds to the present hour. Consols opened at the prices they left off yesterday, 91i for the Account, at present may be quoted 9l buyers, with little doing.

Consols for the Account, 914 RADNORSHIRE.--The county gaol (at Presteign) does not contain one prisoner, and the doors are thrown open. This fact so highly creditable to the county we arc happy to record for several reasons. Radnorshire was the scene of one of the'rnost arduous contests that took place in the last general election. The Reform candidate Was returned,,and this ac cording to the logic of the Tories ought to have been followed by consequences diametrically opposite to those which have taken place. The absence of crime, proved by the fact above stated, indicates not only the good moral condition of the county,'but also the content and satisFaction experienced under the present patriotic and popular government. The pros perous state of the country proves that social order and liberal, honest political opinions, are legitimate cause and . effect. ANTWERP, APRIL 6.—The only topic of con versation with us this morning wcs, a dreadful assassination committed in the town yesterday evening. The circumstances of this act, so foreign to our habits, and which would seem to have proceeded from a feeling of revenge, are at present un known. All that has transpired is, that a young man, an in timate friend of the deceased, but with whom he had lately had some misunderstanding, was apprehended at an early hour this morning. This apprehension naturally gives rise to all sorts of rumours and conjectures. It would be inconvenient to repeat them here. We shall, therefore, withhold a ll fur ther details until a judicial inquisition shall have thrown some light upon the sanguinary and mysterious business to which we have adverted.—Antwerp Journal. LITERARY DISPATCH. —Dr. Johnson wrote Rasselas" in the evenings of one week. Scott completed " Guy Mannering" in a month.

THIS DAY. The Committee mot this morning, at twelve o'clock. It baying been decided yesterday that the wide-street tax was a municipal rate within the meaning of tile Reform Act, an objection was thereupon taken to the validity of the assess ment on various points, which was partly discussed on Monday, and adjotirned when the Speaker was announced to be at Prayers. This morning Mr. AITSTEN for the sitting member resumed his argument, contending that the voter, William Henry Curly, objeCted to in thiS class, could not be disfranchised for the non-payment of the wide street tax assessed at 'Michael mas, 1834. As a matter of evidence it had not been shown that the Michaelmas rate was due and payable at the time of the election. In the second place, and Ile thought this most decisive, it no where appeared that the assessment made in 1805, end the purposes contemplated in the Act had not expired, because if it had so ceased, there could not continue any assessment . on the citizens of Dublin ; an d, i n t h e third place, that it was only due • by virtue of an assessment to be made by the .treasurer, and collectable by virtue of a warrant to be delivered to the Collector. There were other points arisinc , in this case, but he felt those which he put forward' were so strong, that lie could not antici pate any decision of the Committee, which would make it necessary for him to resort to them. In order to deprive the voter of his franchise it was necessary to shoW that two half-year's cesses were due and payable, as in the case of the other municipal rates; and it must be shown that the rate in the assessment was not paid, as they would be obliged to do in an action for non-payment of it. The Learned Counsel at considerable length proceeded to show that the assessment in this case was not made according to the provisions of the Act of Parliament, and that the warrant by which alone it was collectable, was not signed in sufficient time to make it due, and payable at the time of the election. That warrant was not dated till the 10th of January, three days after the commencement of the election, and he submitted that the Com mittee were bound to preserve their own consistency, by making a decision similar to that come to in the Grand Jury Rate, where it appeared that the warrant was not delivered till the sixteenth of January, and the voter had polled before. But for all legal purposes, the election should be taken as one day, and the document in question not having been perfected. before the 13th day of January, the day on which the nomi nation of candidates took place, any subsequent perfec tion of it could certainly not make the rate payable, si.) as to disqualify at that election the voters who had not paid it from exercising their franchise. He confidently looked for the decision of the Committee in his favour, which, perhaps, would save Hon. Members further trouble. The COMMITTEE, having deliberated, announced their reso lution as follows :—" That it is the opinion of the Committee that no proof has been adduced that a rate was made for Mi chaelmas Term, 1834, but that W. H. Curly having two days af ter he voted paid the arrears of wide-street tax for Michaelmas, 1833, and also for Easter, 1834, was in arrear at the time of voting more than six months' amount of a municipal tax, and must therefore be struck off the poll." This decision against the validity of the Michaelmas rate is most favourable to Mr. O'Connell. On Friday evening last, Lord and Lady Granville gave a splendid fete at the Hotel of the British embassy in Paris, which was attended by not less than 2,000 persons. The long and numerous suit of lofty and magnificent apart ments, forming the ground floor of this once gay palace of a favourite sister of Napoleon, all opening as they do to an ex tensive and adjacent orangrie, which is provided with sofas, chairs, and an abundance of wax lights, afford facilities for imparting splendour and brilliancy to such fetes as the one given on Friday, which no other private mansion in the French capital possesses. A remarkable omission in the throne room, however, is still suffered to exist. It is the absence of a por trait of his present Majesty, the place of which is filled up by one of his royal consort. In a room adjacent, there is still a full-length portrait of George I V.—Paris letter. The Duke of Wellington's agent at Lisbon has protested, in the name of his Grace, against the suspension of his Portuguese pension. Madeinoiselle Giulia Grisi, the youthful cantatrice, is a niece of the once celebrated Madame Granilli, and is now in her twenty-fifth year, having been born at Milan July 28, 1811. Her father held an appointment under the government of the then existing kingdom of Italy. At the age of eleven, Giulia was placed in a convent at Florence, where her musical education commenced. It is rumoured, in a Ministerial quarter, that Dr. Turton, Regius Professor of Divinity in Cambridge, is to be raised to the Episcopal Bench—an appointment which will be hailed with considerable satisfaction in the learned world, this eminent Divine being a singular instance of the same indivi dual having—during his University career—first raised him self to the Chair of the immortal Newton, and subsequently to that once filled by Bentley, and other eminent theologians. It is understood that Dr. Butler, of Shrewsbury, will be the new Bishop. There is also a report (but this we give at present as a rumour merely), that Dr. Shuttleworth will be the next Bishop after Dr. Butler. • We understand that the Admiralty have it in con templation not to withhold much longer the anticipated in crease of half-pay to that most deserving and ill-paid class of naval officers—the pursers. An increase of a shilling a day in their allowance, it is understood, has been all but de termined on. The elevation of the Right Hon. Dominick Browne to the Peerage by the title of Baron Oranmore, will appear in the Gazette of this evening. The place of Yeoman Usher of the Exchequer, to which the late Mr. William Godwin was appointed about two years ago by Earl Grey, it is said will be abolished, as being considered a sinecure office. Mr. Stephenson has arrived at Kensington Palace from Holkham Hall, and reported to his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex the state of Mr. Coke and his family. It ap pears that Mr. Coke was more alarmingly ill than the Lady Mary ; and since Thursday two of her children are dead, and a daughter of Lady Cecilia. The disorder is a fever or jail z a.

MADRID, MARCH 30.—Accounts` from the army are unanimous in declaring the cheering effects produced by the publication of Lord John Hay's communication of the di rect naval co-operation decided upon by the British Govern ment, The bells rang merry peals, and the city wore the ap pearance of a grand fete day. General Cordova is in high spirits, the army full of enthusiasm, and the British Legion are beginning to be treated with due consideration. The wea ther has again Iv9ll drP4aftll at Vittoria, but the bad season is breaking up, and we shall soon sec the good effect of well digested plans and efficient British co-operation.

For some days past strangers are flocking in for the holy week so lemnities,--Atigsburgh Gazette. Moscow, VEL 28,--The last winter has been excessively severe. Great misfortunes are apprehened from the melting of the snow. On the 23d of January, the coldest day, a sentinel was frozen.

PETERSBURGII, MARCH 26.—The Grand Duchess Anna Michaelowria, daughter of the Grand Duke Michael, died on the 22d inst., in the second year of her age. It is expected that there will be inure applications this Term for young gentlemen to be admitted attorneys, than were ever before made, the new rule of Court, which will in future subject the applicants to strict examination, taking effect from the last day of next Term. The rule will apply, not only to those who have never commenced business in the pro fession, but to those gentlemen who have been practising as attorneys in the Court of King's Bench only; consequently, unless they take up the necessary qualification next Terns in the Courts of which they arc not Members, they must go through the same examination as the articled clerks. During the late tempests a vessel laden with iron for St. Maloes, having sprung a leak, was abandoned by her cap tain and the whole of her crew, except one of the cabin boys, who, to save his life, kept the pump going till she was driven into the bay of Granville, when he hoisted his shirt as a signal of distress, and some boats went out, and brou g ht th e vesse l safe into the harbour. We learn from Quimper that the storm at the end of'March occasioned most deplorable disasters on the shore of the Commune of Camaret. Three ships were totally lost at sea, five have been cast on the rocks and gone to pieces, and three others are stranded but may be got off. Upwards of 20 sailors have perished. The bench of the Nisi Prius Court, at Liverpool, recently presented the novel spectacle of three Judges sitting at one time in the same Court.

THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF CAPUA,—FIis Royal Highness Prince Charles Ferdinand of the Two Sicilies and his bride (late Miss Penelope Smythe) have taken up their residence, pro tern., at Mivart's Hotel, Lower Brook-street, where the Prince was visited yesterday by Count Ludo!ff, the Neapolitan Minister; Count d'Aceto, Captain Bailie Hamilton, R.N., Mr. Ogle, &c.• We understand that the Prince and his Lady, having been united according to the Catholic Church, encountered many perils in their journey from Madrid to Paris, having travelled for many miles along roads rendered nearly impassable by the snow, and through . the territories occupied by the hostile armies of the Carlists and Christinos. His Royal Highness, who is High Admiral of the kingdom of the two Sicilies, is the second son of tho late.
